We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. --Ronald Reagan

Hello!
Where does the time go!?

 

I've been for my 2 week check up.

Stitches are out, just butterfly tape & the rod still in my toe;

 I can't get it wet.

My friends think because of rust; we had a good laugh!

 

Easter card I made.

I'll show it to you so you can get on with your life!

 Just a simple one cause postage is unreal these days!

 

Look what I saw last week in the trees!

 

Then he left!

 

 

And Vanessa & I saw this on our way to feed the cats & Shadow one night!

 

 

 

 

Up and Over!

No biggie!
 




 

 

Here's his momma waiting!

 

 

Just gonna check us out for another minute!

The kids & I went to Peace River on Saturday!

They bought a dining room table & chairs (& bench)!

It`s lovely.....

I put my 2 bits in, and they did really well!

You know; the leaf should store in the table, cause you never have a place for it, it gets dinged up cause you`re always moving it etc.!

Tiny kitchen, get a bench that can sit under the table & pull it out for company.

The usual 'momisms'!

 

We went in my van and the low tire pressure light came on.

I said, "We need to get to a tire shop. If that comes on when I'm driving I have a flat tire"!

Sure enough, big bolt in the drivers side front.

Vanessa's boyfriend told the nice people at the tire shop; just put a nut on it & we're good to go!

I got new tires!

 

Had a crown come off (same tooth second time).

Dentist yesterday.

My options are:

Root canal & crown $2000.00-$2500.00

Implant & crown $5000.00-$7000.00

or we can pull it................

I'm going back for a cleaning on April 1st, I'll decide then!

 

 My GF who bought a house in Arizona is moving there in May.

She asked me to go on a road trip with her!

Can you say Thelma & Louise!?

Okay, maybe not, but I'm excited!

It'll be an adventure!

 

Better go.

Wine night Wednesday (with Vanessas friend) has been moved to tonight!

I'm going to trot down the street with the bottle shortly!

Sarah passed her CAIB test.

 

 

I took my life in my hands yesterday when I trotted down the alley to Vanessas!

I could have skated, and I had to text her when I got home...

she's 3 doors down!

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends. --Shirley MacLaine

Better get a beverage people, this will be a long one!

Stressful week this!
A friend of ours had her twins on the weekend, and her dad died this week.
He was battling cancer.
I need to send a few cards.

Work is CAH RA ZEEE busy!

Had a few commitments, and ended with Happy Hour at the OFH last night!
Somewhere between arriving & leaving last night, I got talked into taking my old peeps to Wal Mart next Saturday.

I fixed my vertical blind that Vanessa & I wrecked when we assembled the tread mill!
I. KNOW!
We're home wreckers!
The blind got pulled off, and it busted the little clip!

 

I got out my trusty little dremel,  my jewelry card making tools,  some hay wire

and got busy!

 

 

I love the dremel set.

A little FYI; that sucker can drill through anything so don't drill directly on your countertops.

Just sayin!

 

Here's the fixed blind!

 

 

I was going to replace them, cause I've always hated them, but hey, they work!

 

Here's some pictures I took this week..............We'll start with the sunrise this morning!

I was up at 4:30 WTH!?

I found this nest over by the creek, which is running.
It's only about 3 feet off the ground; my mom thinks they didn't know better.

 

This was just cool!

 

Here's everyone getting along!

Some geese, ducks & swans!

 

And this guy posed on my way to work one day!

Wish I'd have still had the camera out when he lifted off, his wing span must have been 7 feet!

We cleaned some of the yard today................
The garbage that was sticking out of the snow, went to the dump!

Had to make some ditches in the lawn!
Remember this post, the mess they made digging in the water line!?
Well there's a lake back there!

I guess we'll have to add more dirt close to the house.

Let me give you todays weather report!
Ya know ya live in Alberta if you can go from:
10 degrees above 0, to pouring rain, to below 0 & snow!
Yup, I kid you not, and it's still below 0!

I finished a Mini Album for one of Vanessas' friends.

Then I did a make work project...you know me, there's very seldom an easy way when I'm on a mission!
I received my goodies from Quilled Creations!
I got this kit!
The instructions are not great....usually when quilling they'll tell you to make so many circles or what ever and you use one of these to measure!
These instructions say to make random circles....hahahahaha!
So I did!

That lilac is no way gonna fit in that cute little oval card!
So I made my own!
Here's the finished product.

 

It's going to be a birthday card for a friend.

 

I'm doing the sunflower now, and trying my darndest to make it to fit in the oval card!

 

Ok I'm done!

Hope you're all well!

I'll be visiting soon.

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!
